Who God Is

The Heavens, revolving under His government, are subject to Him in peace. Day and night run the course appointed by Him, in no way hindering each other. The sun and moon, with the companies of the stars, roll on in harmony according to His command, within their prescribed limits, and without any deviation.

- St. Clement I, Letter to the Corinthians, c. 95.

In the Divine Trinity, nothing is unlike or unequal, and all that can be thought concerning Its substance admits of no diversity either in power or glory or eternity.

- St. Leo the Great, Sermon 77, c. 461

I adore You as my first beginning. I aspire after You as my last end. I give You thanks as my constant benefactor. I call upon You as my sovereign protector.

- Clement XI, A Universal Prayer, c. 1710

- St. Pius X, Jucunda Sane, March 12, 1904
